My friends, can you even believe it's October 1st?
Amy O'Neil is our sketch artist this week at Freshly Made Sketches #706 ... not another word until I've shared her stunning sketch...
Since I'm in Christmas card mode, it wasn't hard to imagine
how to use that main circle in her sketch ...
This old thing again? ha! Yes. It's that Wplus9 set from 2020 which is a layered stamping set called Bells and Bows. But, hey doesn't it look fresh and new mounted on my new Penny Black Plaited Frame? There's that old Neat and Tangles tag, too!
A sweet little sentiment from Penny Black's Heartsong and my work here is done!

So much to love about this one Michele! That new PB frame for one, the beautifully colored bells and bow and greenery, and of course how you've framed it all out! STUNNING card my friend and great use of the sketch!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is GORGEOUS! I wondered if your bells were from that set! I feel the need to get that Penny Black wreath....so impressive! It's ALL impressive! I know how time-consuming those dies can be, but they are oh-so-pretty!
ReplyDeleteWowie, this really worked out perfectly with the sketch! It's a special treat to bring out the old stuff and make it look new again. Absolutely gorgeous, Michele!
ReplyDeleteYou have taken my heart straight to bliss! Love the sweet die cut elements that will stand the test of time, but also the pretty little stamped/inked bits that bring this card to life. So beautiful, Michele

ReplyDeleteWhat pretty little bells those are! I like all of your layers, this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty, Michele! Isn't it nice to pull out older goodies and pair them with new ones? They play together so nicely on your card. I'm in love with that bow....
